I Know The night that we voted on the healthcare bill, a man in a wheelchair told me, "please vote for the bill. If it doesn't pass, I'll die."

I hope this isn't a dimwitted post, but I am having a computer issue. I was just discussing it with my mother who brought up the issue of terrorism and spam. Her IT guy swears it is going on. Curious what other people think. Let me explain my problem. I changed isp's at the beginning of the year. When I left my old isp,they offered me a one time charge of $20 to keep my email address. It would only be able to receive emails, not send. I thought this was handy until I got all my contacts updated to...

Khalaf ran from his own house and hid in a nearby grove of trees. He saw the soldiers enter his brother’s home and then heard the sound of women and children screaming. “Then there was a lot of machinegun fire,” he said last week. After that there was the most frightening sound of all — silence, followed by explosions as the soldiers left the house. ..troops were gone, Khalaf and his fellow villagers began a frantic search through the ruins of his brother’s home. Abu Sifa was about to join a lengthening list of Iraqi communities claiming to have suffered...

Congresswoman Jean Schmidt is upset with some of her political opponents for slicing up a cake made to look like her. State Representative Tom Brinkman cut the head off the Schmidt-cake at a meeting of COAST, an anti-tax group he founded. Bob McEwen, Schmidt's opponent in the Second District Republican congressional primary was also in attendance. Both say they will not apologize for their actions.

Weapons of mass destruction? I’m still looking for them, and if you find any give me a call so we can justify our presence in Iraq. We started the war based on a lie, and we’ll finish it based on a lie. I say this because I am currently serving with a logistics headquarters in the Anbar province, between the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi. I am not fooled by the constant fabrication of “democracy” and “freedom” touted by our leadership at home and overseas print article | e-mail to a friend Letters to the Editor for Monday, November 28,...

Is it worth $20 thousand to bring Ann Coulter to speak?

Any one just see the Paige Hopkins interview about the President's recent speech? Who was that man speaking for the Republicans? I heard him saying that presidents make the error of "not admitting mistakes". Did I just miss hear all that?

On May 4, Elizabeth Harper walked with her boss into Dennis Kucinich's Capitol Hill office for a meeting and immediately noticed three things. In the reception area, she saw a visiting nun in white robes. In his inner office sat a shelf bearing an illustration depicting "light consciousness" and a bust of Gandhi. snip She grew up in the 1980s in the tiny English village of North Ockendon, in a cottage where Pea Lane meets Dennis Lane. At Maytree Cottage, she planted flowers, listened to her mother read stories by the wood stove in the winter, and with her younger...

Looking for Alaska Freeper's if any. Thanks.

I just ordered a tshirt that is anti Che Guevara. Just tired of watching all the twits wearing them totally clueless. I thought I better brush up on my facts before I wear it. Looking for suggestions on a good book on the subject. Note: Hope I did this right. It's my first vanity.

Singer Charmaine says city, music will come back Resting Saturday at a friend's quiet home in Southdowns, Charmaine Neville was a world away from the despair and desperation that surrounded her New Orleans home last week. Before Hurricane Katrina and breaks in the city's levee system brought a great city to its knees, Neville lived on Pauline Street in the city's Ninth Ward. Some desperate flood victims committed suicide, she said. "Because nobody was coming to help them, they were killing themselves. Some people that just went crazy." Just back from a visit to Our Lady of the Lake Regional...
